The Office

It was a lot of horn blowers and funny hats in season seven of The Office when Michael (Steve Carell) throws an office NYE party. Plus, Pam (Jenna Fischer) makes a resolution board to get the Dunder-Mifflin team in the holiday spirit and it quickly turns into even more drama for the workplace frenemies.

Modern Family

Modern Family in season four takes the clan to Palm Springs, where Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) try to ring in the new year and ignite their romance. Talk about fireworks!

The Big Bang Theory

It a 2010 episode, The Big Bang Theory gang counted down to the new year in its equivalent of Times Square: a comic book store. The boys and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) enter a Justice League–themed costume contest and become more than just superheroes out to save the world at night.

Friends

These Friends partied like it was 1999! During season 6, Monica (Courteney Cox) and Ross (David Schwimmer) audition for a coveted spot dancing on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. The dynamic duo didn't win over the judges with their cheesy moves, but they did take home the hearts of fans.

That '70s Show

That '70s Show welcomed one era and said goodbye to another with its 2006 New Year's episode. For the series finale, Donna (Laura Prepon) and Eric (Topher Grace) rang in 1980 at their house party, closing the book on eight seasons of groovy fun.

Seinfeld

The show about nothing did New Year's the only way it could: with lots of petty conflict. In season eight of Seinfeld, Kramer (Michael Richards) and Newman (Wayne Knight) throw dueling parties to see who's more popular, making the episode the perfect embodiment of Y2K paranoia and neurosis.
